This is a standard Debian squeeze.  I think udev is just calling those
to figure out if a device should be handled by multipath or not (part of
the device identification). I'd rather not fiddle with it, as it "works"
even if Debian is shipping suboptimal rules. Anyhow, changing this would
simply reduce the risk of running into the kernel issue, not remove it
entirely, so I prefer the actual fix. :)
